Will Ospreay Written Off AEW TV After Post-Match Attack at Forbidden Door – The closing moments of AEW’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view delivered both a shocking storyline twist and a necessary medical write-off for Will Ospreay. Following his team’s victory in the chaotic main event, Ospreay was left bloodied and beaten at the hands of Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, a segment carefully designed to explain his upcoming absence from television as he prepares for neck surgery.
The show’s main event featured an unsanctioned 10-man Lights Out Steel Cage Match, where Ospreay joined forces with Darby Allin, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, and Hiroshi Tanahashi against the Death Riders (Moxley and Castagnoli), The Young Bucks, and Gabe Kidd. The 32-minute spectacle was packed with weapons, including tables, ladders, and barbed wire, and concluded with Tanahashi scoring the final pinfall of his career in England, defeating Matt Jackson for the win.
While his teammates exited the cage, Ospreay remained to absorb the cheers of the London crowd. That’s when Castagnoli struck, blindsiding him with a European uppercut before locking the cage door. With Ospreay trapped, Moxley and Castagnoli brutalized him, delivering DDTs and a vicious steel chair stomp to his neck.
The assault directly referenced Ospreay’s legitimate injury. He has been open in recent weeks about suffering two herniated discs (C2 and C6) pressing against his spinal cord, an issue that requires surgery. The angle not only provides him with time off but also sets the stage for a highly personal feud when he eventually returns, as revenge against the Death Riders is now firmly established.
The pay-per-view went off the air with medical staff and fellow wrestlers rushing to Ospreay’s aid, leaving fans with a dramatic cliffhanger as he prepares for a long road to recovery.
